About Via LaRosa

You might wonder why Ms. LaRosa has written all this stuff for the Internet. Well, she is a scientist, a writer, a student, and a teacher, now disabled. She reads, researches, and writes about her findings.

She graduated from law school in 2004 at the age of 54. She started law school three weeks before 911, and the experience turned out to be educational in ways she never could have anticipated.

Most recently, she is working on an LL.M. degree in International Taxation & Financial Services via the Internet.

Ms. LaRosa likes to have fun and does not like character-building experiences.

This website was born on November 27, 2011. She will fix it, whatever it is.
